Burger Market - American Food - Bogota, Colombia


I thought there was no better place for hamburgers in Colombia than "Hamburguesas El Corral". After several recommendations from friends, last weekend I went to Burger Market, not once but twice, and it turned to be a great gastronomical experience!! I haven't seen on a menu so many different types of hamburgers: Angus meat, Turkey, Cajun, Tuna, Salmon, Veggie, Quinua, etc. They all seemed delicious, it is really difficult to make a choice, specially because all the ingredients are perfectly chosen and free of fertilizers. Their slogan is "Natural just the way you want it".

Additionally the chef Daniel Kaplan is an expert on meat: starting on the breed and raising of the animal  and continuing with the maturation process and meat cuts. 

On friday night I shared with my friend a Turkey and a Veggie burger. It was 10 pm o a little bit later, our order took around 40 minutes to arrive, and the service was poor. Maybe because of the time, it took so long, but if they open until 1 am, this should not happen.  Fortunately the food was amazing: the turkey burger with mayonnaise and BBQ sauce was awesome, there is no place in Bogota where you will find such a tasteful (no red meat) hamburger, and the size is just perfect. The veggie burger composed by a big mushroom mayonnaise and avocado is also delicious, specially the the guacamole gives it yummy taste.  For a healthy hamburger meal this two types of burger are the best combination ever! I finished my evening thinking I had to come back for lunch to taste a Angus meat hamburger.

On Sunday I woke up thinking on nothing else than Burger Market. I invited two different friends, they both ordered the turkey burger and loved it. I had to eat the hamburger that has the chefs name: Angus meat, onion rings, bacon, tomatoes and lettuce. The taste of this burger is amazing and the meat is juicy and tender. Order your hamburger with "papas rusticas" or onion rings.



The restaurant is spacious and the decoration is really nice. I want to go back a thousands times; and taste every single hamburger, steak, ribs or chicken in the menu. Two thumbs up for the owner and chef of this restaurant!

7 16 - Steak House - Usaquen, Bogota, Colombia

7 16  is a restaurant in Usaquen one of the finest zones for restaurants, bars and entrainment in Bogota. This steak house is located inside a beautiful colonial house,  with an amazing terrace that gives a very cozy ambiance. 

In general at a steak house you should order STEAK... But no everyone is so audacious or has a great stomach to eat steak at night.  Besides it is becoming increasingly important to eat healthy, specially at dinner time. This is a great practice for everyone, so when making a choice to dine, any good restaurant must have awesome healthy food. 7 16 was a great healthy experience: starting with a Tuna Tartare for two and then a Veggie Burger for one, and a Grilled Grouper for the other.

After serving a focaccia bread right from the oven its time to order an appetizer. My recommendation: the Tuna Tartare with raw tuna, tomatoes and avocado is amazing and light. The veggie burger  was better than I expected, instead of meat a big mushroom coated with bread crumbs, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and onions, you can add ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise but its not a must, the burger alone tastes wonderful. The Grilled Grouper is a safe choice, but still delicious. All of this with a salad as a side dish make the perfect healthy dinner we were looking for. Well not so heathy, I confese we ordered dessert, Crème brûlée with red fruits, it is the type of dessert where you stop talking and just keep eating: it's great temperature and the combination with red fruits makes it an unforgettable experience.

Portions are big and the ambiance is excellent witch compensates the high prices.
